VOMITING!!!

[xxlazaro]

Hello My brother has a Quaker parrot and she now has thrown up twice and she seems to have a ball in her crop we're really scared because we do not know what to do. Any help please right now she threw up again

[marie83]

Avian vet ASAP, please don't put it off til tomorrow.
Do you think she has swallowed anything? Is the crop swollen or does it just feel like there is something inside?

[laducockatiel]

I agree with Marie, take her to the vet ASAP.

If your brother is too slack you will hav to do it or she will die if not from an infection then from dehydration. With birds you have to move quick. They don't last long from dehydration. If there is something in there it could also move to her bowels and she will be poisoned.

Move quickly.

How is the quaker now? Did you see a vet?

Hello thank you all for the advice we did take her to the vet because she threw up three time mushed pellets and several times she gagged and a yellowish goo with bubbles would come and she would adjust her crop alot so when we were at the vet they checked her crop and it seemed fine. They also did some test with what they called a birdie swab and.they took some of her dropping and they checked her esophagus and the test results can take up to a week and the third one would take an hour and if positive they would let us know. So we're here waiting but right know she is showering and she seems better no more vomiting and thank you all for your concern it is really appreciated when we get the results we will let you know. The test that they did are as follows

Fecal by Centrifuge Swing arm
Bird: Chlamaydia PCR
Culture and senses. Bacterial

Again thank you all so much Sorry if explanation is not good

[marie83]

Fingers crossed she will be fine then. Keep us updated on the results.

Hello today she seems to be doing a little better,and she has not thrown up. The problem is she is eating compulsively inside of the cage her dropping are abnormal,she also preens alot when she is out of the cage which is a little weird because she usually does not preen that much. When inside the cage besides eating and preening she's fluffed up with her eyes semi closed which is weird for her because she is usually very active. The first which is the dropping test it came out negative. We will keep you updated again thank you so much for your concern it is very appreciated

[marie83]

When you say the droppings are abnormal, has the vet actually seen the abnormal ones? Make sure the droppings have a solid black/greeny coloured part, if this part is runny you should go back to the vet as that is diarrheoa which will kill a small creature quickly. Hope she picks up for you. Its very worrying when pets are sick.

Hello it is indeed diarrhea and tomorrow we are going to the vet to pick up medication prescribed to her by the vet she is acting normal now but she is still a little down. Again thank you for your concern you guys are great now I am hoping that what she might have is not contagious because I have two tiels. But if anything we will consult the vet either way we have faith thank you all your concern is highly appreciated
